GUEST COLUMN
The following guest column was contributed by students in Editorial and Interpretive Writing, a course offered by the School of Journalism and instructed by John Ginn, Knight professor of journalism.
Smokers Anonymous could help students
Smoking is an awful, dirty, disgusting and expensive habit. But I smoke. I know it probably will kill me. I know it may kill those around me.
Yet, I need the right method to help me quit.
I propose the need for a Smokers Anonymous. There is an Alcoholics Anonymous, and there are support groups for various other socially-unacceptable practices and self-destructive activities.
I tried to quit cold-turkey. But I take a 12-step program instead of
that experience any day. I couldn't handle the headaches and mood swings, and neither could my friends. I tried trading my nicotine addiction for coffee or gum but to no avail. Coffee shops are smoky places, and gum makes my jaw hurt.
I might last a few days or maybe even a week without a cigarette. But then it starts. I treat myself for being so good. I have a cigarette. I have another cigarette. Pretty soon my supplier yells, "Get your own!" So I buy a pack. Then I am back where I started — a smoker.
I am afraid of using the patch. The idea of a constant flow of steady, comforting nicotine sounds so safe and easy that I don't think I would ever quit using it.
I go to friends for support. They comfort me with a trusty cigarette. I need someone else to turn to for help. I know you are out there.
Smokers, ex-smokers and wanna ex-smokers, unite! Band
together in the face of nicotine. We could meet the challenge together and exchange stories about trying to quit. We could teach each other how to avoid the pitfalls of a society in which smoking is still the vice of choice for exciting people. We suffer while watching fictional characters like *Pulp Fiction* the Vince Vega and real-life stars like *X-Files* actress Gillian Anderson puffing away. But it doesn't have to be like this. The suffering could end.
I am sure I could quit with your help and support. Because I know smoking is an awful, dirty, disgusting and expensive habit, it is time I proved it. Let me be the first to say, "Hi. My name is Anna, and I have been a smoker for four years. I want to quit."
Anna Attkisson Manhattan sophomore

Fate of Houston Oilers hangs in Dome's rafters
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Houston Ollers know where they will spend training camp. The location of their first game of the 1997 NFL season remains anyone's guess.
The NFL hasn't set a firm deadline for the Oilers to make a decision
They could be forced to finish out their lease and play in the Astrodome in Houston. A settlement in slow-going negotiations to break that lease could see the Oilers playing in Memphis' Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
been announced.
"A couple of years ago, the Raiders went up to August before deciding whether it would be Oakland or Los Angeles," said NFL representative Greg Aiello on Wednesday.

Tennessee fans have a wait-and-see attitude. Houston fans have had no better luck — tickets, which most NFL teams start selling in March, still haven't gone on sale. Last season, tickets didn't go on sale until late May as the Oilers tried, but failed, to leave early for Tennessee.

Liberty Bowl manager Bill Wilson thought he would know by yesterday whether the Oilers would be using his stadium this fall.
